I love.... Where do you start? This could go on indefinitely. However, because I didn't have much time to prepare for this, I was looking through pictures I had already taken and I realised, judging by the number of photos I already have:
I love ... rivers
The Loire near Amboise in France, very high, early this summer.
The Arno and the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. A good few years ago, we had a single week's magical holiday in Florence, in an apartment very close to the bridge.
Even a petrified river near Oaxaca in Mexico!
Back in France, and even further back in time, the Ardèche river
with its famous Pont d'Arc.
I was persuaded it would be a good idea to canoe down it. Here is a rare photo of me, with my elder son who is now about 12 inches taller than I am, taken it would seem, before we fell in.

ReplyDeleteCan you believe - I've been to every single place on your series of great sceneries - even in Oaxaca. And canoing down the Gorges d'Arches 4 times. From Vallon and even as high up as Balazuz. (where we stayed 6 summers in a row in the 80'ies)

ReplyDeleteTell us more about the petrified river.
ReplyDeleteThank you all very much for your comments. For those of you interested in the petrified river, it's a mineral spring which is gradually (over 2000 years)building up mineral deposits. Follow the link to find out more. Tor, we need to compare itineraries one day:)
